Great Car

Folks who claim this car is a chore around town are just wrong. This car is no more difficult to drive around town than ANY other small car with a manual transmission. And the fun factor on this one wins out every time. There are faster cars out there, but overall the Boxster's performance at this price is a huge plus, not to mention that you don't see Porsches on every corner like other cars in the same price range.

This car is very fun to drive, just a slight push on the gas petal tells you why...The first scheduled maintenance is two years or 20,000 miles...Can you believe that! Oil changes every 20K no way...The dealer advised not to drive it over 120 mph during the first 2,000 miles for brake in..Holy cow...That is as fast as you need to be on U.S.A. roads

Not a "Pretender" Sports Car...

What can be said about the new Boxster? Its top of world handling capabilities, more than decent power, elegant German design, and superior build quality make this sports car THE car to measure all other "pretenders" by! This is my second Boxster...we owned an '04 and enjoyed that one before getting this new model. All of the improvements Porsche has made were for the better...except for their BOSE audio system...which was cheapened for some reason? My old car's BOSE system sounded much better by comparison. But who cares? Turn off the radio and listen to the exhaust note! That's what I'm talkin' about!

This is my third Porsche Boxster. The 2005 has been completely redone compared to prior years. It has more power, more comfort, and an improvement on an already great design. I've driven the car now for nine months and have no complaints.

Purchased a 2006 base Porsche Boxster with Tiptronic a couple of weeks ago. The driving experience is great! The engine is pleasantly loud. I've found it quietest at about 65 mph, louder at low speeds in the 10-30mph range and fairly loud at 75 mph+. If you're looking for a sports convertible in the $50,000 - $60,000 range, look no further. The storage room is great with the front and rear trunks. I can get 2 sets of golf clubs in the rear (even with top down) and a nice sized medium piece of luggage in the front. That's better than the BMW 3-Series or Audi A4 convertible, which, with top down would require using the whole back seat for storage as well. I put the top down at 55-60 degrees with the heat on, no problem!
